I like it well enough. Kanban is picking up steam and more and more tech teams are using it.

So how are you going to find customers?

Glad you liked it! The demand for kanban is not high at the moment, but this is because kanban for project management is a very new concept.

I believe flow.io solves a number of painful project management problems such as extensive upfront planning, making accurate estimates and manual time-tracking. So, word-of-mouth should be enough to find customers in the beginning.

I personally know of at least 3 other people who have written some kind of kanban/agile web tool (including me)

I gave mine away to a customer.

Of course, online I've ran into a bunch more.

Good luck! It's slow now, but It's a growing market.

It's funny, I wrote a Kanban board to my ex-employer and know other people who work on similar projects. New competitors pop out every week. Way too many Kanban boards already.

Yeah the subtle message here is that everybody and their brother is writing a kanban, Scrum, or agile tool.

I think that's a good thing, though. The market will sort out winners from losers. Also it means that people are very passionate about having a tool.
